#HellsTradingFloor is currently up ~100% on $RDBX #squeeze thanks to the call out from @dmcalls. Thanks for being a part of the community and keeping your 👀 open for runners.
Retail is rapidly soaking up this micro-float like a sponge, hence I feel this is just the beginning.
@ORTEX data shows that 50% of all shorts entered (at best) at $11.00 or lower. The other 50% of all 1.41m shares sold short entered below $3.00 and are deep in the red.
All this adds up to old-shorts losing out on their gains, and new ones rapidly losing equity on their margin.
Additionally, as of yesterday, $RDBX was officially put on the Threshold Security List, which indicates that FTDs on the stock are rapidly outpacing market makers' ability to deliver them.
The best part is that $RDBX short lending volume was so thin the past month that shorts took an absolute beating because of limited liquidity, and it forced market makers to take at least 1 short exempt for every 100 shares traded today.
This has happened once before...in $GME
$RDBX has only 50% of its float shorted, where as $GME had 150% of its float shorted at the time, but in December 2020, there were similar moves in the chart while shorts increasingly struggled to find lendable shares to utilize because market makers borrowed them all.
We are seeing a similar phenomenon because $RDBX shares have been borrowed up to the point that 92% of the Free Float is on loan on 100% utilization for more than 2 months!
If retail believes that short squeezes and a MOASS is possible, then $RDBX is one such stock.
I already anticipate the tidal wave of hate I'm about to get from $GME holders for suggesting that other stocks can be naked shorted like this, but I'm pointing out $RDBX anyway because this situation has happened before, whether ya'll choose to recognize it or not.
This is a pure buy-and-hold stock with no options available for market makers to fuck with, and now retail knows better after what we went through with $GME and $AMC.
Further, I have the short exempt data to back up my thesis that market makers have lost control.
As always, please understand that this is a high-risk investment, and how the stock reacts to this information will strongly depend on whether retail decides to buy-and-hold regardless of price action, up or down.
For me, I'm choosing this one to hold for a squeeze.
The movement is already taking place, so please be careful if you choose to chase this. Any purchase at this price level is 100% a FOMO buy, so please understand that at any point, the bottom could be pulled out from beneath it.
$BBBY might actually be a very real, very powerful squeeze opportunity of a combined gamma and short squeeze. This thread will unpack the opportunity and analyze the charts, ortex data, and options interest in Bed Bath and Beyond.
This is an opportunity, despite the bankruptcy
As always, none of this is financial advice. There is absolutely no way of knowing, predicting, or accurately forecasting market volatility with any degree of certainty.
Please make sure to perform your own research to understand the risks, and exercise proper risk management.
If you want the video version of this, here is the DD I put out recently that discusses this opportunity; however, it does not include the Ortex data. For that, please read on.
I think it's extremely hard for Finra to justify its actions, but we need to acknowledge this has happened before with no consequences...
- $SPRT war flashbacks -
The problem is, class actions and lawsuits take many years... $MMTLP investors have a very big fucking problem NOW.
The situation with this forced sale of $MMTLP and extraordinary halt by FINRA is going to force everyone's shares into settlement, which will force them to transfer to a private company.
You can't sell them.
However, this is a taxable action, so... this is gonna suck but...
For those who are unaware, Congress and the White House are terrified of a rail union strike because it would cripple the US economy and cause transportation/logistics to break down.
Despite that, Union Pacific refused to grant additional paid time off for workers.
In response, The White House has made it illegal for rail workers to strike in the face of what it calls a national emergency.
The Union Pacific Railroad has the money & resources to grant these benefits but refuses to do so out of greed, not necessity. time.com/6238361/joe-bi…
I'm going to clear up something regarding $AMC's share dividend and the fears about a "dilution" through an equity merger.
This will be a bit lengthy.
While you might argue that it is "dilution", what you fail to realize is that @CEOAdam is giving you all a gift of free equity.
If a merger between the preferred shares happens, it will because apes voted on it.
Here are the pros and cons we should consider...
First, $APE is a new equity which is separate from $AMC, tied together only by the value of the company.
They are priced separately.
By itself, $APE has no bearing on $AMC's value, but it *does* offer a separate dilution option for the company that has nothing to do with synthetic shares in $AMC.
It literally has no effect currently.
But if AA can sell those shares, the company can use that cash.
Just a reminder of this thread where I highlighted the last time $BBIG barcoded like crazy before it hit a liquidity pool about 10% below it's average price on the week and then took off for the stars within 30 days.
$BBIG has more than 250,000 call options hidden in the options chain with the potential to expire ITM and put unimaginable pain on market makers and the shorts who have beaten $BBIG into the dirt.
For context, 257,640 calls is over 25.7M shares, or 20% of the total Free Float.
Market makers have been anticipating $BBIG would not survive this beat-down, and have been dictating the price on these options as worthless for the past month to convince retail to sell for pennies on the dollar.
In driving the price down so far, they've created an opportunity.
